151 – Hair (part 2)
Seems like everyone saw this coming a mile away. I’m a terrible storyteller.
Oh well. Gaia’s hair is back. I bet you all missed it.
Fun thing is, the two “hair” comics were originally supposed to appear back to back, but then I wrote more and more stuff about the girls all gathering together, and had to push this one further and further away since it needed to happen “the next day”.
Welcome to the last stretch of chapter 4!

It’s not easy being green. ^_^
I love it. Gaia and Saki are my two favorite characters, probably because they are opposites. Leads to some fun storylines.
Gaia is such an innocent.
But Gaia and Flore are opposites too. :)
They all work so well together.
Nope.
Its not easy being cheezy
In reference to the Hovertext: She can never become a true Brazilian. :P
You just had to go there, didn’t you? When I read the hovertex, my first thought was “eyebrows” and “mustache”. A daily waxing would be no fun.
That electrolysis thing could help? Can’t do that where you WANT hair to grow, can you tho? I guess that’s something she’ll have to live with…
Ohboy
I have been reading the comic on my phone.
And now I realize there is alt-text for the comic?
Well, guess I’m going through the archives again.
I remember that feeling well.
WARNING! WARNING! Frivolesque has dropped down to 137th place in the Top Webcomics 100.

Help me!!
If I’ve done this right, This should be the link to the Frivolesque voting page, so you don’t have to scroll all the way to the top of the page, then try & work out where you’re up to. Couldn’t find the rank when I looked, but hopefully doing better…
Still over 100th place at 128th.
it may reset every once in a while. clear out old vote totals or something.
Midnight on the last day of the month. (2:00am here on the east coast).
Now why would Marie-Neigh say that in the last panel? She should be the last person to have a problem with unusual attributes in others.
I think it’s more of a jealousy thing. Gaia has naturally long perfect exotic colored hair. I imagine many girls would want that. Especially since growing hair that long can take years and dyes can damage hair.
No, no it’s not jealousy. Marie-Neige is just freaked out.
It’s not just girls who’d kill for hair like Gaia’s. I can’t seem to get mine past my shoulderblades.
Being able to grow your hair very long is a sign of health, if you cannot do so, chances are, you are less than perfect health.
Well, no. Unusual attributes are fine with her. Totally alien and unexplained things are less easy to swallow. Marie is slowly realizing Gaia has a lot of inhuman traits. :)
What? You mean like super strength, inhuman endurance, perfect eyesight, and an innocence unmatched by any human? Pish-tosh, mere trifles.
She really was trolling when she cut her hair.
Kinda.
Dat banner. She’s everywhere, isn’t she?
Yeesssss I noticed it too! :D it’s awesome though
At least her name has been mentioned now…
…In a way…
Laurence transcends everything.
“The Buddha nature is in all.”
Gaia’s face in the 3rd panel. So cute~
Guilty face…
And welcome back to the odd, but strangely fascinating world of Gaia. Can’t say that I blame Marie for being confused, though her response to hearing about the hair color issue is a bit rude. Or maybe just awkward. I’ve got to give this one a bit of thought.
There isn’t enough Gaia in this comic considering she’s supposed to be one of the main 5 characters.
I agree. She’s different, but she is also very cute and an absolute sweetheart. And I have decided that the answer to the Marie question is awkward. But haven’t we all made that kind of mistake. (open mouth, insert foot)
Why are there so many songs about rainbows? XD
…what?
It’s from “The Rainbow Connection”, the theme song of The Muppet Movie; sung by Kermit the Frog. He also sang “It’s not easy being Green”. (From his other gig on Sesame Street.)
Oops. Seems like my Muppet culture wasn’t as good as I thought.
Next time just use a larger petri dish.
C’est qui la fille dans le back ground? Nouveau caractère?? :0 :)
C’est la fille la plus awesome à Québec. <3
hahaha je me demandais quand quelqu’un allais la remarquer :P
I’m curious to know if all the girls will one day develop powers and become magical girls. Maybe Flore could imagine this if she learns of Gaia’s abilities and whatever she found in her box… Just random thoughts in my head. Marie-Neige could the magical girl of bond… (word unfinished :) )
The magical girl of bond-……-o glue? Bondo glue? That’s a thing, right?
I could see her cosplaying as Ami Mizuno. They’re both ice-aspected, and Shabon Spray Freezing can work as a restraint. Plus, I’m sure she’d find some less than pure uses for the Mercury Computer.
Sadly, the Sailor Mercury costume is already claimed by someone else.
Gaia looks smashing in that ourfits :>
Thank you! =D
ye’r welcome :>
I concur.
I would’ve said something about it myself, if someone hadn’t beaten me to it by 4 years, 2 months and 22 days.
You can never go wrong with jeans. And the rest matches it splendidly. Though I do wonder if that jacket can even be zipped up. (Though I suspect Gaia is impervious to weather.)
I’ve wanted to have naturally bright colored hair for a long time. If some crazy from of genetic engineering makes it possible, I’m totally going for it. I’d probably go with bright blue.
But then you’d have to add Cobalt to your diet to keep it blue as it grows out!
“Errr… your roots are showing. You need more Cobalt in your diet.?
You might want to re-think that advice (Paragraph 2):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobalt#Precautions
That’s why I said it.
It’s probably safest to go the butterfly route and have a nanoscale pattern on the surface of your hair that gives it an iridescent color.
Definitely safer than anything cobalt based.
Long or short hair, she’s always cute as heck.
Panel three Gaia expression….HHHNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG.
I feel like Hisao’s heart.
The audiences reaction to Marie-Neige’s feelings about the green hair is properly expressed by the hat she is wearing.
Does Liliane really have her own clothing shop? Or is it just named “coincidentally” like her?
Wait a minute! I have Gaia’s outfit!
No, not in my closet, in my computer!

All now all I need to do is add a fur collar texture. Which I happen to have!
I can make my own 3D Gaia! (Not without permission, of course. I am not slime.)
Panel 3 pretty much foreshadows what they’re going to say in panel 4. Well drawn. :)
I hope her hair only grows that fast after it’s been cut. Otherwise she can’t get away from having to cut it at least every other day. :P
Why do you think she carries scissors with her?
Because Gaia likes to live dangerously and loves running with scissors.
The hair is hard to explain though. If it grows at a constant pace, then it must be at least 4 or 5 cm/hour. But then her hair would have been well past shoulder length at the end of the previous day. So presumably it’s growing/regenerating (more) at night, even though that’s the opposite of regular humans.
